Tonight, Auto-life presents a story about the roaring 20s and the violent people who lived them. As with song and story, we tell you about St. James in Primary Blues, our star, Time Magazine's covergirl Miss Rosemary Clooney.
Well, did you enjoy GW's birthday? Yes, sir, hap. Quite a guy, George. And an auto-light, stay-full battery user, of course. He was? Well, he is. George just can't buy a better battery than the one that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.
I suppose he used a stay-full to start his boat across the Delaware. Well, if he did, he got the quickest, most powerful start of his life. And, uh, GW agrees. George Washington? Oh, no, no. George Wilcox, my brother.
Oh, friends, to quickly locate your auto-light battery dealer, whose service is all makes of batteries, phone Western Union by number, and ask for operator 25. I'll gladly tell you where to get an auto-light stateful, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.
